Hi all, just like to intro myself. I just got in cps too. Was so relief to see still have vacancy so no need balloting. 2C balloting at Shuqun almost gave me a heart attack! Also want to thank all the parents here for all the info and good feedback for cps. You guys really help me make up my mind which school to choose. It's wonderful to see such vibrant and active parents here. Hope to learn from you all in the years to come.


Just a quick question to start with. Can you request school bus to pick up at your own block, or must you go to desinated pickup points?

Hi SesamePaste :snuggles: :hugs:
:welcome: :welcome: and :congrats: to your successful registration at CPS. Yes, can understand the stress level for P2C balloting as i also went thru that with my DD1 4 years back!

Regarding the pick-up and drop-off point, there will be one designated point for the few blocks within the same neighbourhood. Perhaps, you can give a call to Aik Wei and check with them.

What I gather from my DD1 after 7 months taking the school bus this year, she feels it is definitely much better than the previous provider. At least the bus is punctual and she can reach school around 7.15-7.20am and have time to interact with her friends. Previous one can come as late as 7.35-7.40am - just in time to reach school for flag-raising ceremony.

Din know about the above survey; perhaps the school is trying to gather more opinions from parents so as to feedback to Aik Wei Transport.

I think it’s quite nice that the school is interested in feedback from parents. There was also a feedback form for 2CS registration to find out how parent select schools and what they value in the school. Hope this will help them to improve the school further.

Hi All,

Just happened to read the letter DD2 passed to me notifying on the change of the school bookshop vendor to Eng Seng Bookstore with effect from 1 August 2012.

Really had very bad experience with the previous vendor during the books-purchase time during last school holidays and also at the beginning of this year :frustrated: :stompfeet:

Anyway, hope with the changes, things will improved

Happy Hari Raya Puasa to all! Enjoy the holiday!

Champion, i see. No wonder my girl told me got new auntie there. She's regular customer, always bring back all kinds of funny things. Wondering why school allow bookstore to sell all these.

What kind of "funny things" does your DD buy sno_opy?


While we are on the topic of buying things, how much does you all give your kids to spend in school per day/per week? Do you limit them to what they can or cannot buy? Do they complain about not enough money when they compare with their friends?
